<p>The United States Women’s National Team (<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/uswnt-tv-schedule/">USWNT</a>) is a driving force behind the change from truTV into a sports channel in the TNT network. Warner Bros Discovery, the owning group of truTV, TNT and TBS, signed a multi-year agreement with US Soccer. Therefore, the basic cable channels have become a spot to watch USMNT and USWNT friendlies with select competitive games also available. </p>



<p>In many cases, truTV takes a backseat to TNT or even TBS. Take March Madness for example. The NCAA Tournament puts games on each of Warner Bros Discovery’s three cable channels, making each one important. After the tournament, TNT will still have coverage of the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League. TBS is home to several TV series and movies. Therefore, truTV lies waiting. However, WBD is actively working to make truTV more centered around sports.</p>



<p>There will be an increase of around 1,000 hours in live sports content coming to truTV over the next year. Some of that comes from existing property rights. The NHL and Major League Baseball are already in Turner’s portfolio, so shifting games to truTV is no issue. Then, new properties in the broadcaster’s lineup, such as NASCAR, the French Open in tennis and various college sports, will also feature on truTV over the next year. Even though 1,000 hours is on the horizon, TNT sees far more live sports on truTV in the coming years. </p>



<p>“We aspire for TNT Sports on truTV to be a go-to destination for a dynamic range of fans seeking not only more premium sports but also alternate ways to experience and enjoy them,” <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/wheres-trutv-march-madness-channel-is-now-tnt-sports-new-star/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said Craig Barry</a>, TNT Sports executive vice president and chief content officer.</p>

<h2>USWNT helps establish truTV in TNT Sports</h2>



<p>If truTV is to become a go-to spot for sports, soccer can draw in major audiences. The USWNT has a major following, largely because of its success and the growing popularity of soccer. Previous US Soccer games have been available on TNT and Max, Warner Bros Discovery’s streaming service. Now, WBD is putting USWNT games on truTV.</p>



<p>Ahead of the Summer Olympics in Paris, the USWNT is playing two friendlies. On Saturday, July 13, the USWNT plays Mexico, with English-language coverage available on TNT, Max and truTV. This is a strong opportunity for truTV to further establish itself given that it is available on some streaming services that TNT is not on. For example, Sling Blue has truTV, while Sling Orange does not. </p>



<p>The fact remains that Warner Bros Discovery is trying to make truTV a more reliable home for sports to bolster its viewership. If fans are watching the USWNT on truTV, they may be more inclined to look for the channel when seeking something to watch. As stated with the other sports properties coming to the channel over the coming months and years, truTV will have plenty of options at its disposal. Depending on the USWNT’s success at the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/olympics/nbc-sports-releases-plans-for-olympics-soccer-tv-coverage/">Olympics</a> and further growth under Emma Hayes, more fans will want to watch the women’s national team on truTV.</p>

How USWNT is helping truTV morph into TNT Sports on truTV

The United States Women's National Team (USWNT) is a driving force behind the change from truTV into a sports channel in the TNT network.

<p>TNT and other Turner channels fell off the fuboTV lineup back in the summer of 2020. Now, it appears over seven channels are returning to fuboTV’s lineup, according to <a href="https://thedesk.net/2023/01/fubo-tv-bringing-back-cnn-tbs-tnt-turner-owned-channels/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew Keys from <em>The Desk</em></a>. </p>



<p>Those channels, which include TNT, TBS, TruTV, CNN and more are part of a new agreement between fuboTV and Warner Bros. Discovery. The report says that those channels are coming back to fuboTV’s lineup as soon as Jan. 16. </p>



<p>According to a fuboTV spokeswoman, she said, “we have no current plans to launch any new networks from Warner Bros Discovery.”</p>



<p>For soccer fans, the deal comes at the perfect time. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/us-soccer-announce-new-tv-deal-turner-sports-20220301-CMS-373327.html">US Soccer begins its deal</a> with Warner Bros. Discovery this year. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/us-soccer-national-team-to-make-hbo-max-debut-in-january-20221202-WST-410783.html">first game of that new deal</a> for TNT is on Jan. 28 when the USMNT plays Colombia. If this report stands true and those channels come back, fuboTV subscribers will have access to the game.</p>

<p>However, there is some stipulation with fuboTV getting these channels back.</p>



<h5>fuboTV price rises again</h5>



<p>Although unrelated to the fuboTV deal to get TNT and other Turner channels, the price of the service is going up. Instead, this price hike is in relation to Bally Sports regional sports networks. </p>



<p>Now, fuboTV has a base price plan of $74.99 per month. Then, there is an elite plan for $84.99 and a premier plan for $94.99. These are all $5 increases from what the prices were entering 2023. </p>



<p>The uptick in price starts in the February billing cycle.</p>



<h2>TNT and Turner channels back on fuboTV</h2>



<p>As stated, the US Soccer move to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/usmnt-and-uswnt-commentators-for-tnt-and-hbo-max-20230110-WST-415003.html">Turner channels and HBO Max</a> means friendlies are now commonplace on TNT and related channels. This deal arrives just in time for fuboTV subscribers to watch the USMNT or USWNT on these channels.</p>



<p>Of course, these channels provide much more than just the USMNT or USWNT. TNT regularly broadcasts both the NHL and NBA. Also, TNT, TBS and TruTV have entertaining shows airing almost daily.</p>



<p>The addition of Turner’s channels also brings CNN, Cartoon Network and other channels, providing content for the entire family.</p>
